Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a spatula used for kneading clay work, adhesives, putty, etc., and more particularly, to a spatula that can be deformed into various forms and can be positioned in pressure contact with the ground when used. Is.

  Conventionally, various spatulas have been used as tools used for application work of adhesives, putty and the like. As this type of conventional spatula, for example, as in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 06-064775, there is one composed of a hard grip portion such as a wooden member and a flexible spatula member such as a steel plate. The portion is formed so as to be elastically deformable, and becomes appropriate when the coated surface is finished smoothly. Further, the whole made of synthetic resin has a hard gripping member at the base end portion and similarly has a flexible flat spatula member at the tip end portion. (See Patent Document 1)

By the way, this kind of spatula is used as a tool for cutting a sheet material such as a cloth in addition to a coating operation by using the straight edge of the tip.

Problems that the device tries to solve

  However, when a conventional spatula is used for cutting, positioning can be easily performed, but there is a problem in that it cannot slide accurately during the operation to maintain an accurate straight line and requires skill. An object of the present invention is to provide a spatula capable of performing cutting work easily and accurately.

Means for solving the problem

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems related to the conventional spatula. First, a flat spatula member having a flexible shape having flexibility and a base end portion of the spatula member are provided. The spatula member is formed of an elastically deformable material and has a predetermined angle of inclination with respect to the ground from the base end side of the grip member and branches in two directions. It is characterized by being formed.

  More specifically, the branching portion of the spatula member in two directions is formed in a bent state through a predetermined distance from the gripping member. The spatula member is a metal member, and the gripping member is formed of a synthetic resin member.

  The spatula configured as described above can be firmly positioned with respect to the ground by pressing the spatula member with fingers, so that the cutting operation can be performed smoothly.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a spatula according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the spatula according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the spatula according to the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the state of use of the spatula according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of the state of use of the spatula according to the present invention.

  As described above, the spatula 1 of the present invention can be used for viscous kneading of adhesives, putty, etc., or can be applied to any spatula used by school children for clay work. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the spatula 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a flat spatula member 2 formed of a hard member capable of elastic deformation such as metal and having an inverted trapezoidal width, and the spatula member 2. And a synthetic resin gripping member 3 that is integrally extended to a slightly rigid base end.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the spatula member 2 uses two metal plates in the embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, one spatula member 2 has a substantially trapezoidal shape and is used by pressing the front end edge against a work target. For this reason, although the spatula member 2 is preferably made of metal, the entire spatula member 2 may be made of synthetic resin as long as it can have the same characteristics.

  The other spatula member 2 uses a slightly small metal plate as shown in FIG. And the base end part 2a which extends the holding member 3 of each spatula member 2.2 is joined in the bending state, and is comprised. Specifically, two metal plates may be joined by welding.

  A synthetic resin gripping member 3 is attached to the base end portion 2a of each spatula member with an adhesive or the like.

  In order to perform application and leveling operations such as adhesive and putty using the spatula 1 of the present invention, it can be used as a normal spatula. On the other hand, when a cutting operation such as a cloth is performed using the spatula 1 of the present invention, the spatula 1 is pressed against a predetermined ground G and used.

  First, while gripping the gripping member 3 with one hand, the tip edges 21.21 of both spatula members 2.2 are lightly pressed against the ground G, and then strongly pressed against the ground G. At this time, the spatula 1 is positioned by spreading the spatula member 2.2 on both sides as shown in FIG. 6, so that it is possible to perform a cutting operation by applying a cutter to the leading edge 21.

  In the present invention, a spatula having an external shape as in the embodiment is used, but it goes without saying that the design change of the external shape of the spatula can be freely performed as necessary.

Effect of device

  The spatula of the present invention comprises a flexible flat spatula member having a suitably shaped width and a gripping member extending to the base end of the spatula member, and the spatula member is made of a material that can be elastically deformed. Since it is formed and branched in two directions from the base end side of the gripping member with a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the ground, it can be used in the same way as a normal spatula during application work In addition, since the spatula member is deformed and firmly held on the ground, the cutting operation can be positioned without requiring skill, and the operation can be performed easily and accurately.

It is a front view of the spatula concerning this invention. It is a rear view of the spatula concerning this invention. It is a bottom view of the spatula concerning this invention. It is an external view of the spatula concerning this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the use condition of the spatula concerning this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the use condition of the spatula concerning this invention.
